Suffolk teen charged with running down boyfriend after argument

SUFFOLK — A Suffolk woman was arrested on Tuesday after police say she got in her car and ran down her boyfriend in a parking lot after an argument in a motel.

Stephanie A. Williams, 19, was charged with attempted malicious wounding and, because her 2-year-old daughter was in the car, she also faces a charge of child endangerment. She was released on a $5,000 bond.

Debbie George, spokeswoman for the city, said Williams chased her boyfriend in a 1994 Honda Accord as he tried to leave after an argument. George said Williams struck him twice, knocking him down once, and then circled him in the vehicle, at one point blocking traffic with her car.

The man sustained minor injuries. The child was not injured. Child Protective Services is investigating.
